With Veeam Backup&Replication v7 announced to be available in Q3 2013, Veeam continously publishes new features v7 will bring.

Until now v7 will include these new features:

Support vor VMware vCloud Director

Full integration in VMware vSphere web client

Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Sharepoint

Virtual Lab support for Hyper-V

Tape support for VTLs, tape libraries and standalone drives

Beside all the other really cool features v7 will offer, tape support is the one that I really love the most. Until v7 you alwys had to use a second "traditional" backup tool to get your Veeam data on tape. Normally that's not a problem because you usually already have such a software running in your environment but consider users that switch to a fully virtualized environment and want to use only a single backup solution? This was impossible until now.

If you want to get more information on these new features and especially on the tape support, follow this link.

Really great job at Veeam. This shows once more that Veeam listens to it's users. I can remember users begging for tape support since a few years and Veeam always told them it's on the roadmap. Okay, it took some time to find it's way from the roadmap to the product but they've done it and that's what I really like at Veeam.
